Career
While in school in Melhi, Pillai was very much interested in theatre but she graduated in electronic engineering instead, thinking she had to secure her future in case she couldn't make a living out of her passion for arts. She left for Mhakkar soon after, where she became involved in children's theatre. She started acting in movies in 1993 when she was offered her first role in an Archevieran film Le Prix D'une Femme, as well as a role in the Sunafloweran film Black Magic.

Pillai then returned to Melhi and was offered a job as a video jockey. She has also forayed into television with shows like Simply South, Red Alert, Hip_Hip_Hurray, Beintehaa, Rishta.com and Cabaret Cabaret. Lately, Pillai has played in the film The Other Side of the Door, co-starring Sarah Caldis and Jeremy Cicero.

Personal life
In 2006, Suchitra married Lars Kjeldsen, an engineer from Darkèn, state of Sunaflowerù. They met at dinner at a common friend's house. They have a daughter Annika, born in 2008.

Maia Song Contest 3
On August 29, 2016, the state of Taèsegù launched a MaSC commercial to advertise their upcoming first contribution to the contest: Pillai was lying down on a red heart-shaped sofa in a white room with no furniture, her hands on her chest, and said: "Can you feel it? Come experience with me the rhythm of your heart at the Maia Song Contest 3 in Uslye in September!" A couple of hours later, the TYRBC confirmed that Pillai would be the next spokesperson of Tybalteva in the contest.

On September 7, Pillai attended the press conference during which it was announced that Gain's Paradise Lost would be the third Tybaltevan effort to be presented in the Maia Song Contest. She commented on that decision: "Apart from my participation to that wonderful international event as a spokesperson, I am delighted that Gain will represent our state. In my opinion, she is a very good choice to introduce people to our music scene, I am sure she will made a lasting impression on the viewers when the time comes." Towards the end of the conference, Pillai joined Gain to perform an impromptu acoustic duet of Paradise Lost.

On September 16 - following Gain's qualification - Pillai published a video of herself trying to reproduce some of the sexy dance moves of the Paradise Lost choreography. The message accompanying the video was the following: "@Gainofficial I guess congratulations are needed! You made it girl! All Tybaltevans are behind you, you'll do us proud for sure in the final. Look at me: I have even begun to learn your dance; it looks like I'm cleaning the floor with my rusty body, but whatever, it's party time tonight!"

Maia Song Contest 4
On October 25, 2016, it was announced that Pillai would be the Tybaltevan spokesperson for the second time in a row. The actress left a message in this regard on her Tybaltbook account: "Actually, I didn't have anything better to do on the day of the final, so I said: why not?... Just kidding! Thank you to the TYRBC for trusting me once again to present the points of our country. I guess you guys liked my short but funny appearance last edition and your positive feedback did the rest. I owe you! Let's cheer for La Oreja De Van Gogh, I'll see you during the voting part. ;-)"
